BOSTON, March 14-The horrors attending
the terrible accident on the Central Vermont
railroad at Hartford, VT, have hardly had time
to be forgotten when another accident, some
what similar, though it is to be hoped not SO ter
rbe in the loss of life, occurs, this time near
Boston, the scene being a new iron bridge on
the Dedham branch of the Providence railroad,
which is known among railroad men as the
''tin bridge AT first it was reported that the
bridge had given way and that the accident was
due to this, but the true details cannot be as
certained. The facts, as far as known at the
present time, are as follows: AS the Dedham
branch train. which leaves Dedham at 705. and
which arrives in Boston at 7:40, reached this
bridge, the rear cars were in some way thrown
from the track and piled promscuously down
the embankment, which at this point is thirty
OF thirty five feet high. The bridge crosses the
marsh which lies between Forest Hill and Ros-
igndale, and is approached on either side by
embankments which were filled in wheu tse

the Baltimore & Ohio railroad coL.inue to be
rife in Wall street A statement to the follow

Attorney general Gwnne Of couns sci for the road

CARROTS private secretary left Baltimore for
New York at 1:32 yesterday afternoon. and COM
municated, last night. with Mr.. Whiteridge, the

BALTIMORE, March 14.-Snce it hiss become
generally known that meeting of railroad men
was held In this city yesterday, the people are
rapidly coming to the conclusion that the Balti
more & Ohio railroad will be sold. People are
now talking on the straets about the possibility
of the road failing to pay a stock dividend be-
cause of extensions and improvements, in
which event large interests may be put
to serious inconvenience. There is how
ever, much confidence manifested in
the solidity of the road, and shares
sold to-day at ITO. against 165 Saturday.
There were 136 shares sold at the higher figure
It Is some time since much of the stock was
on the market. Mr.. Garrett was seen to day
but would not say anything in regard to the
road nor the telegraph system. He declined to
say if he had had recent communication with a
prominent telegraph officer from New York. A
search of all hotel registers has failed discover
the presence of such officer in Baltimore, though
he may have been here.

Business Embarrassments.

NEW YORK, March 14-Martin " B. Smith.
leather merchant, doing business at $50
William street, made an assignment to-day for
5he benefit of his creditors to Ludwig Roth,
with preferences amounting to 1922. 1913. Among
the preferred creditors are the National Park
Bank and the Merchants Exchange National
Bank for sums not stated. Mr.. Smith has been
engaged in the manufacture of kid for ladies'
shoes from imported goatsklns. His factories
embrace considerable real estate, and are To-
Gated at Philadelphia. His counsel, Messrs
Blumenstein 81 Hirsch, say that he has lost in
recent speculations. Nearly $500, 900 was in
vested in his business. 100000 of this in stock
month Mr.. Smith has paid out
for matured bills on merchandise over
$4,000 and within the last two
weeks nearly $4,000 more His liabilities are
unknown. The nominal assets exceed $3.50 000
1t is thought that the actual assets will reach
nearly that amount. The liabilities are esti-
mated at $4,000, of which 5000, 600 for mer-
chandise and the rest for borrowed money. The
assets are from $780, 900 to $500, 600.

dealers in this city, have made bill of sale to
Fitzpatrick & Co., of New York conyevino all
effects for $50, 900. This is to avoid an assign
ment. and 10 prefer the New York creditors
The Boyds are heavily interested in the BOYD
8 Co. Manufacturing Company. of Levanna.
Brown county, Ohio. That concern made an
assignment to day. It's capital stock was 5000,
O00 Crawford, who assigned to day, was on
the Boyd company's paper for $54 900. hence his
failure. In January, 1886. the Boyds claimed
about 5000 900 assets and $32 900 liabilities,
which included their interest in the Boyd Man

Action Taken Yesterday by Philadelphia Bap.
tist and Methodist Ministers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journai.
PHILADELPHIA, March 14-The Philadelphia
conference of Baptist ministers to-day uEani-
mousy adopted the following resolutions:
While attempting critical full estimate of
Mr.. Beechers genius, character and wonderful life
of mind and heart and his abundant and effective
services to his country, to his and to his God
Although not agreeing with all of his published
teachings, we gratefully recognize the unselhshness
and integrity of his purpose. and the uplifting
of his eloquent and maay- sided ministry
We admire his great catholity of spirit which,
looking upon humanity as the objects of its love- rose
far above the bounds of scot and reoced in the fruits
of Christian life wherever found.
At the meeting OF Methodist ministers to day
the following resolution was offered by Rev. j.
S. j. Mcdonnell:
Resolved, That the members of the NJ E. Church
In Philadelphia share, in common with other branches
of the Church of Jesus Christ in the general
oceasioned by the decease of that great and eloquent
minister Of the gospel the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn; and we hereby beg per-
mission to assure his family of profound Christian
sympathy with them in their bereavement
Rev. S. D. Barnes criticised the resolution as
indicating approval by the Methodist Church Of
Mr.. Beecher's views. He stated that while Mr..
Beecher started out as an orthodox minister, he
had. of late years. repudiated the doctrines of
blood atonement and of the resurrection of the
body. Mr.. Beecher also believed in probation
after death, and practically in universal saliva
tion. He had been great man and had done
great things rs patriot and in the emancipation
of tho slaves, but Mr. Barnes did not consider
him an orthodox minister
There was no disposition to prolong the dis
cussop, and after Mr.. Barnes finished his re-
marks the resolution put to VOTE Mr.. Nc
Connell explaining that it did notimply unauali-
sied 90 I'll Mr Beecber's theological
views. The resolution was adopted by vote of

Civil Service Reform.

Snow, Mr.. Higgins, what do you
thln!; Of civil service reform?''
II thought everybody knew my
opinion of civil service reform. /
once said it was 4 fraud. / have
never seen any reason for changing
my views. will say this, however:
Had the civil service law been en-
forced by Republican administra-
tl,n it would have been better for
the country and for as who are now
pledged by our oath of office to see
1t enforced. You can look over the
records of the Republican admins
tration in vain for the appointment
of a Democrat. Those were the
times that only Republicans, in some
mysterious manner, were enabled to
pass civil service examination.
will say this, that so long as 1 hold
office, so long as the civil service law
is on the statute books, that law will
be enforced, fraud or no fraud.
There are very ridiculous fea-
lures about it. Take q man who
began to vote when the Republican
party went into power in 1861, ard
who has worked for the party ever
since. He Is debarred from striving
for position because he is 46 years
of age. The men who are the most
violent civil service reformers are
those who were in office long and
during the Republican regime. Why,
We have in the department over 200
Republicans who never passeda civil
service examination. Examine them? {?
Why, the whole department would
be thrown into lunatic asylum by
the mere suggestion OF it. No, sir,
the civil service law was made to
exempt Republicans and for the ex-
animation Of Democrats. That is
all there is to it. It's enforcement

whether your OK gorcs my bull. or
